Will the rivets hold will they Mate .... That was the 1st idea but I thought they might pull though the ply and is it ok to drill a fue holes in the ribs is it ??

Shoot yeah!... but you can't use the little ol' wimpy ones, ya gotta use the big ol' gnarly ones like these.
I'd say a minimum of 3/16" diameter Large Flange (head) or a 1/4" dia. dome head, be sure to get the proper grip range for the thickness of your plywood or they won't hold worth a dang.
I'll be using these rivets to fasten the decking down in my boat in a few days.
You'll probably need a heavy duty rivet tool like the one in this vid for the 1/4" dia.
